New York City is historically known for championing artist-led spaces, where freedom of expression and interdisciplinary experimentation were fostered. These projects were not just forefront in generating new ideas, they were responsible for shaping much of the cultural fabric of the 20th century.
Following in these footsteps, recently assembled MOONCALF, an incubator by and for artists, was founded in Manhattan’s East Village. As the hyper commodification of art and market trends grow ever louder, “What is MOONCALF?” asks us to remember the importance of taking the risks that come along with true creative experimentation.
For the first time on film, experience the many interdisciplinary works developed at MOONCALF’s two former physical spaces, and hear from the artists themselves why it was so imperative for both their personal practices, as well as the health of our cities cultural ecosystem.
Expect to laugh, expect to cry, and most importantly expect to moo—one thing this film doesn’t need is more cowbell.
